Coupla things re: work

Things are wild-n-crazy at the big IT company. 

In climate news, it is rainforrest.  8,000 degrees F, balmy, muggy, uncomfortable, and drippy.  

I called out sick this past Friday because I had a fever and was achy and decided sleeping at my desk with a blanket wrapped around my sorry ass was not an option.  Today, the little guy I've been sitting with to learn IVRs (Interactive Voice Response, for those laypeople not in the know), is out sick.  I was using his headset.  I got The Young One ill. 

Also, today, The Sleeper got reamed for effing something big up.  I feel sorry for him.  Not because he's a guy who does as little as possible to get by...that he is.  But because he's been so helpful and patient with me (not to mention Clueless Lady) and I feel he should be equally recognized for his good deeds as he is denounced for his screwups.  The task he effed up got taken away from him.  Yikes.

Clueless Lady has been really quiet today, though she did ask me where to locate a bit of data that should have been pretty evident to her.  Well, I think it should have been.  Since she's been doing this for almost 2 months longer than I have. Also, her husband's terminally ill, so she's going to part-time starting next week.  The happy news is it'll just be me and her during the 6pm hour for our little group.  Which equals me doing a lot of work and answering a lot of quesitons.  Oh well, it'll speed by quickly, right?

hahaha, Clueless Lady just came back from her lunch break and asked, "Does it feel a little warm to anyone else in here?"  Where has she been all the firey day? 

A side note:  The Young One is out sick, as I mentioned, but honestly?  It's not like he does much when he's here, except to be overly helpful and tell you that your keyboard shortcut tricks aren't as efficient as his.  And really, he honestly does less work than The Sleeper, I suspect.  Last Thrusday, he spent most of the day on the phone with his girlfriend and the other part of the day attempting to fix someone's Xbox.  

Ok, I'm going to go drink a huge cup of ice water and then pour another one on my head to try to cool off.
